      I totally agree...there isn't any real model shops here in Salem, Oregon anymore...
      The last one that I know of closed a year ago and I don't see any opening up around here, and the closest one is up in the Portland area...

    I lived in Louisville in the late '80's and '90's and this shop started in the basement of an old home that had been converted to commercial property (I think the main floor was a dentist's office). It has come a very long way.

    So great that some still exist! I owned a hobby shop 20 years ago, for 3 years.
    At that time internet purchasing was relatively new and I started getting asked to compete with online prices,
    more & more as time passed.
    But of course I was expected to provide the service, that the shop had provided in a smaller town, for 20 years prior me
    owning it.
    Small shops were unable to go online as cheaply & easily as they can now,.
    My policy of service (almost only) what I sell, helped people remember the service, that they were missing online.
    I'd spent countless hours in magnificent shops as a kid, hoping to recreate that for some kids in my shop.
    Single mums sure appreciated the help.
    But I took the overall hint and sold out, for what it had cost me to acquire. After making a modest living for 3 years.
    Other shops came & went since, all learning it's not so easy. Now everyone sells online regardless of size etc.
    That transition period to online selling, was very difficult for many.
    Also my risk tolerance for small retail is & was low, I'd never be betting my house on it!

There are still a small handful of good, small shops I can go to, but I remember one roughly that size back in the 80's and it was heaven for me.
    I hope that things may turn around, and the hobby gets the kind of attention and support that it used to. It's possible. I have a nephew who's about 17/18 and he was heavily into Lego... now I understand he's very much into plastic models! Hope for the future. 😉

    Great shop! As far as the HO & N scale locomotives and cars, the model railroad industry went through a marketing strategy change a number of years ago. The manufacturers now announce what locos and cars they’re planning on releasing well in advance of the actual production, often more than a year ahead! If it’s something you’re interested in, you have to “reserve” how ever many you want, and then wait a year! Production runs are very limited, and if you don’t reserve what you want, you’ll likely never get one! The days of display cases stacked full of a wide variety of locomotives are long gone!

Most videos will say the name of the hobby shop and city but not the state, you have mastered the basic's. This should be How To do a great video. I know in Ca. we have some great shops and some have closed down sniff sniff, little tear.
